I've heard Quinn has the potential to be a great pass rusher and with Rak on the other side that would be great. Kiper said if he would have played this year he would have been a top 3 or 5 pick. Kapernick is not a pro QB. If they take him I would be upset.

MD - he's a 4/3 DE and has never played in space. He's only rushed the passer his first two years. Oh and for what it's worth, he was one of the 4 or 5 players who were not allowed to play last year because they cheated, took money, etc. Don't want a guy like that on this team. Especially since I'm a NC State fan.

The first sentence you wrote sounds an awful lot like what people were saying about Orakpo coming out of college and he turned out alright I guess. From what NFL scouts are saying he has the ability to play 3-4 LB. He is also reportedly the player that the Patriots, a 3-4 team, are so high on they want to trade up somewhere between 6 and 10 to get him. The suspension raises a red flag but he was 18 or 19, since he is only 20 now, when he made those mistakes so if Shanny and Allen were impressed by his interviews and they think he has grown up and can play in the 3-4 I don't mind the pick at all. He also battled back from brain surgery in his senior year of high school to play football again when he was told he could never play sports again so that says something about his character too.

That brings a medical red flag to me only b/c of the issues of concussions. Not sure if it's a risk at all or not. But I can tell you that when UNC played NC State, besides the fact that State beat them the last 4 years, their defense didn't do CRAP against us as a whole and their guys were over rated vs a mediocre line.

I'm still waiting for an NC State player to play for the Skins. Like Parcells said, "You have to go where they make 'em" when talking about schools that produce NFL talent. He mentioned the obvious teams like USC, Ohio State, etc but said Iowa and NC State are those schools.

Look out for Nate Irving, ILB to be a stud that someone can get in the late 2nd or early 3rd.
